Abstract

A system for, and method of, compensating for codec DC offset and a modem incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a DC offset compensator that develops and transmits a DC offset indicator signal corresponding to a DC offset present along a transmission path to a receiving codec and (2) a DC offset encoder, coupled to the DC offset compensator, that receives the DC offset indicator signal and applies a time-varying DC offset compensating signal based thereon to a user data symbol stream transmitted along the transmission path.
